I keep watching different versions of this just to see the other cast members' reactions to Cynthia. It kills me every time how much appreciation they have for her talent.
This might be the best tributes ever. I've watched this countless times by now. JHud goes Ham but that Cynthia Erivo is a Gem I love this cast. Only wish I was blessed to see this production.
I'll never forget when I saw this after Prince died. I was watching tributes and came across this. When I heard Cynthia Erivo's voice for the first time, I was absolutely blown away and cried. It was so beautiful. I wanted her to sing the whole song. What a talent!
also behind her best friend and Tony winner joaquina kulakuonga in 2022 for best actress in the musical Paradise Square. Her rendition of let it burn is one of the greatest performances in Tony history.
This just showed up in my feed tonight. It has been a couple of years since I have seen it. Cynthia Erivo is a master class! Her voice is truly angelic powerful and just amazing!
CYNTHIA'S RANGE is out of this WORLD! I don't know why Jennifer H. didn't know the words of the Song ,Purple rain almost become a National anthem at some point !!! Lol !!! (needs a copy making it sure not to mess up the words Lol ! )
When Cynthia climbed those notes the actress behind her almost lost it.
I noticed the same thing!! Cynthia is beyond amazing!!

omg same!!!
That moment when she wonders if she should be going that high and the ENTIRE room is like HELL YEA! Fave moment ever.
DO THE SAME OMG
EXACTLY the cast´s reaction said it all
Same!
Cynthia's fascination for Jennifer is the cutest and humblest thing ever
well they were playing lovers so they oughta be fascinated with each other😍🙌🏿🥰
Cynthia's "lemme take it up an octave" is what got me!
Yes exactly this part! I watch it on repeat.
That was on octave and some!
YES 😭😭😭
i hated it
@@camara1194 girl you’re a square
The moment at 2:33 when Cynthia just stares wide eyed at Jennifer makes me smile.
Lol right
lmao, I think JHud always lost her control, her part is a bit too much for me even tho I can't deny that she's good
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Le Anh Quoc art is not about control, particularly Black art. It's about how far out of "control" one can get. That's the difference between...
@@PorknBeanJuice lol but so true 🤣😁👍🏽
Cynthia Erivo's voice is gold
1:18 I don't know how many times I repeated this part.
David Berto girl can slay
Megan Lariviere She's absolutely amazing!!
Pure Filth!!!!!! She MURDERED it!
David Berto omg, i did the exact same. then read your comment. gave me goosebumps.
Me tio
this is why they both have an oscar and tony between them
ugh 3:15-3:34 that face she made right before she hit that note you knew it was gonna be good
that moment when Jennifer Hudson belted that C6 out at 3:30 , that girl right there is NO JOKE, she literally took my breath away
Watching Cynthia's reaction from 2:24-2:33 makes my goddamn day
She's like "sing it girl" 😂
love how Cynthia picks up Jennifers Jacket...
Johannes Müller honestly, someone off stage probably would have taken it if it hadn't been picked up
Cynthia's voice is one of a kind!!!!
This might be the best tributes ever. I've watched this countless times by now. JHud goes Ham but that Cynthia Erivo is a Gem I love this cast. Only wish I was blessed to see this production.
Cynthia killed it!
Two of the greatest vocalist of today. Wow, they killed it.
One
@@keithcurran3922 Two.
The vocal class in this video is just ridiculous....... The hairs on the back of my neck are standing, goosebumps everywhere!!!!!!!!
Yellow pants SANG her face off 😭 chills
Erontay Harris lol her name is Cynthia
You don't know who she is!? Shame on you lol. I sure you know by now
I didnt know who she was prior to this 🥺 but she is in nun top 5 singer/performers now
"yellow pants sang her face off" = perfectly accurate review of Color Purple revival
They took us to church with Purple Rain. 💜☔️
Sho’ ‘nuff!
This was praise and worship and you can’t tell me otherwise
Danielle look like she about to catch the holy ghost! lol
Can't say that J Hudson over did it cause once someone feels the music within than all is released 😍😍
So jealous of that audience. What an amazing performance.
This is my favorite Prince tribute. Cynthia is the best. Come on Tony...make her your date. That talent is rare. Like Prince Rogers Nelson.
“Prince Roger Nelson”? Oh, that must be Prince’s real name…
So great how Cynthia, who works with this cast nighty, is so able to blow them away with this.
At 3:30 when Danielle Brooks was like “damn... these vocalists are going to town with this song”. #Respect
Did they just nailed those notes without a microphone 🎙 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯🎤🎤🎤🎤
This is the kind of singing that makes people shout “you better sing!” Isn’t it?
Yesss you betta SANGGGGG!
This is so amazing. Cynthia and Jennifer brought it! I know Prince is smiling from heaven.
I'll never forget when I saw this after Prince died. I was watching tributes and came across this. When I heard Cynthia Erivo's voice for the first time, I was absolutely blown away and cried. It was so beautiful. I wanted her to sing the whole song. What a talent!
Jennifer is So good! But Cynthia… OMG she is SOUL… ❤
I am so glad somebody recorded this. This was amazing.
I have heard the angels sing
#angles
Right! Cynthina's acute singer.
also behind her best friend and Tony winner joaquina kulakuonga in 2022 for best actress in the musical Paradise Square. Her rendition of let it burn is one of the greatest performances in Tony history.
Might that be the chick that was trying to touch her and Jenn smacked her hand 😂
danm cynthia can singggg !
I would pay so much to watch this cast sing literally anything
yall this was a tribute right after someone died, jennifer wasnt trying to be technical. its not about who did better this time
This was the performance the day he passed
This just showed up in my feed tonight. It has been a couple of years since I have seen it. Cynthia Erivo is a master class! Her voice is truly angelic powerful and just amazing!
This is perfect had me in tears. You need to share this everywhere.
Jennifer and Cynthia are literally my favourite singers ever and I can’t breathe at this
I cried when jhud to that sweater off it was over yoo!!
I was very lucky enough to see Prince himself sing this in his prime in concert. I have to say....I enjoyed this just as much. Amazing. 🖤
Those notes though Cynthia🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 goodness gracious!!! #UbettaSang
What??? What??? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? mind blowing
That's so sweet i LUV Prince God bless you all 💜💜💜💜💜
The cast is giving me my life with their reactions to the juggernauts that are Cynthia and Jennifer. #SlayLadiesSlay
Okay that girl Sang that song like straight up bodied but that note at 3:30 that Jennifer murdered me. call the police right now
You and the girl in pink behind her 😂
As soon as Cynthia was cast as Elphaba I went back to this performance and knew she was gonna own it and make it her own.
Watch this a million times it never gets old….love it
The quality of this recording is IN-CREDIBLE

I'd love to have her record this in a studio and release it
I’d love to hear JHUD cover some of Prince’s material.
Cynthia outclassed Jennifer! She's absolutely amazing!
YES
it wasn't a competition i dont know why people always putting women up against each other they were both clearly outstanding and it wasn't a singoff
@@Goldenretriever-k8m It wasn't, but J Hud seemed to be trying real hard to compete. Failing miserably too.
love them both
